Q: took my dog to vet afterrelatively minor dog attack.They never warned risk of shock and died 2.5 days later. Can I sue?
Took him to the vet after the attack and they cleaned him up. Next day he was trembling(likely pain) and they stabilized him. I was going to take him first thing in the morning, but he was breathing rapidly at 3 in the morning until his breathing eventually died in my arms. Had I known to watch for this I would have been able to take life saving action
A:
Unlikely, because at best most states give you only the value of the dog in commercial terms.
However I wold suggest you contact a member of the State Of Washington Assn for Justice who handles animal issues--they give free consultations.
